1
Q
What are the classes of organisms as determined by Carl Linnaeus?
A
Kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species
2
Q
Which features are living creatures traditionally classified by?
A
by their structure and characteristics
3
Q
What is the binomial system of naming organisms?
A
genus name followed by species name
4
Q
Why were new classification models proposed?
A
- developments in microscopy allowed better examination of internal structures
- improvement in understanding of biochemical processes
5
Q
State the three domains
A
- Archaea
- Eukarya
- Bacteria
6
Q
Which organisms belong in the domain Archaea?
A
bacteria, using living in extreme environments
7
Q
Which organisms belong in the domain Bacteria?
A
Bacteria
8
Q
Which kingdoms belong in domain Eukarya?
A
- plants
- animals
- fungi
- protists
9
Q
How are evolutionary trees created?
A
by examining the DNA of different species and analysing how similar the sequences are
